Poop...engine management light?

Post by JKM_GTI »

Just come in from work (about 25miles) and as I pull up to the drive way the engine management light has come on….

I did notice it was a little lumpy the other day, anyone care to guess what this might be?

(The engine management in the engine symbol with a lighten bolt through it right?)

Thanks in advance!

Exhaust emmission light for sure - sign that your lambda probes are having issues!
